Awakening : I Tamed The Mother Goddess At The Start

After about two hours

Ethan had nearly depleted all the Mana Stones before he finally stopped practicing.

The overwhelming desire within him faded, and at last, Ethan understood what had changed in him.

His talent had mutated!

His earlier assumption was wrong—he had not awakened a second Beast Tamer talent.

Instead, his original Beast Tamer talent had undergone an extraordinary transformation!

His talent had evolved from the original S-rank [Unknown Evolution] to the SSS-rank [Ultimate Evolution]!

The sheer amount of mana his Beast Tamer talent had absorbed elevated it directly by two ranks, transforming it into a mythical-level talent!

If S-rank talents were considered rare, they still appeared occasionally—perhaps a few awakened every year. However, SSS-rank talents were the stuff of legends, surfacing perhaps once every few centuries!

At this moment, there were fewer than ten known SSS-rank talents in the entire history of humanity.

Every individual with such a talent was an unparalleled powerhouse—a leader of the coalition government, the head of a major force, or a mythical-level Beast Tamer!

In summary, Ethan's talent had not only mutated—it had grown stronger!

The effects of his SSS-rank [Ultimate Evolution] talent were incredible. The most notable ability allowed him to perceive the evolution paths of all qualified extraordinary creatures!

As long as an extraordinary creature met the talent's requirements, he could unlock the chains of mysterious evolution.

If the creature's bloodline and potential were strong enough, Ethan could potentially train it into something akin to a "Mysterious Eldritch God"!

This ability alone was remarkable, but Ethan was certain it was not the full extent of [Ultimate Evolution]. SSS-level talents had multifaceted effects, and he would uncover additional benefits over time.

Excited, Ethan clenched his fists, his heart racing with anticipation.

He no longer needed to rely on luck or waste time speculating on evolutionary paths. [Ultimate Evolution] would reveal every possible chain for any suitable extraordinary creature.

His thoughts briefly turned to the Cthulhu Mythos stories he had read in his past life. Those eldritch creatures were bizarre, terrifying, and powerful: Outer Gods who roamed the cosmos, Primordial Gods who predated time, and Old Ones who ruled unseen worlds.

Even the lesser beings in those myths—Deep Ones, Gug Giants, Crawling Worms, and Flying Hydras—were monstrous entities that could reshape worlds.

To imagine such creatures in a Beast Tamer's arsenal was nothing short of absurd. If they were unleashed in this world of extraordinary beasts, they would obliterate all opposition.

The very idea thrilled Ethan, but it also reminded him of a glaring problem.

To unlock this potential, he needed to first establish a Beast Tamer Space and contract his first beast companion.

The batch of Mana Stones he had received earlier was completely spent, and the next round of resources would only be available the following month.

Without a contracted beast, he had no fighting strength. Without strength, he couldn't hunt wild beasts for income.

He was stuck.

Ethan left the training room and walked out into the corridor. He soon spotted Benjamin, his head instructor, who was waiting nearby.

When Mr.Hariss saw him, he immediately approached and asked, "How did it go? Were you able to establish your Beast Tamer Space?"

Ethan hesitated for a moment before explaining, "No. The mana required was far greater than I anticipated. I drained the room's reserves and used all the Mana Stones I had, but I still couldn't succeed."

Mr.Hariss froze in shock, disbelief etched across his face. "How is that possible?!"

To confirm, he immediately contacted the facility's staff to investigate.

Their findings corroborated Ethan's account: the training room's reserves were completely exhausted.

Hariss took a deep breath, his gaze shifting back to Ethan. "This… this is incredible! The more energy required to establish your Beast Tamer Space, the larger and more stable it will be.

The better the foundation, the greater your future potential!"

Hariss, however, couldn't hide his regret. Ethan hadn't mentioned the mutation of his talent.

After all, before this change, his original S-rank talent, though respectable, wasn't enough to draw significant attention.

Now, however, the situation was entirely different.

An SSS-level talent would cause an uproar—not just in Southgate City, but across the entire human race.

Ethan decided to keep his talent's mutation a secret. His S-rank designation was already registered, and the accompanying resources were sufficient for now.

Hariss, understanding Ethan's predicament, thought for a moment before transferring 10,000 Mana Stones from his storage ring.

Ethan blinked in surprise. Before he could speak, Hariss raised a hand to stop him.

"Don't refuse. I've already reached my peak as a Beast Tamer. These stones are of no use to me. Think of this as an investment in your future."

Ethan nodded, his voice steady but sincere. "Thank you, Teacher. I will repay this debt as soon as I can."

Hariss waved the words away, though he appreciated the sentiment.

With the additional Mana Stones, Hariss arranged for Ethan to access an advanced training room.

Inside, Ethan activated his mutated Beast Tamer talent, rapidly absorbing mana.

The effects of his SSS-rank [Ultimate Evolution] were even more dramatic than before. Two mana vortices formed above his head, and streams of energy poured into him relentlessly.

Within just half an hour, the training room's reserves were fully depleted.

Despite the intense mana requirements, Ethan succeeded in opening his Beast Tamer Space!

He felt the small dimension within his body solidify. With further cultivation, he could expand and stabilize the space.

After using nearly 1,000 Mana Stones, Ethan leaned back and took a deep breath.

Most students required around 10 Mana Stones to establish their Beast Tamer Space. Those with high-grade talents might use a few hundred at most.

Ethan had surpassed them all, consuming resources at an unprecedented rate.

Reflecting on this, Ethan couldn't help but laugh wryly.

It was no wonder that some people, even after awakening Beast Tamer talents, chose other careers. Without sufficient resources, becoming a Beast Tamer was a near-impossible dream.

After all, how could one nurture extraordinary creatures without the wealth to sustain them?

Ethan resolved to find a way to make money quickly. Not only to sustain his cultivation but also to repay his debts and prepare for his first beast contract.

With the Beast Tamer Space successfully established, it was time to think ahead—to unlock his future potential and prove the worth of his legendary talent
